There is a kindness that kills. Synold & SoN have a very handsome little volume, with spirited illustrations, giving a poetical narrative of "The Fox Chase." It is a melodious, virile piece of work, by James Bowen Evcrhart, published by Porter & Cotes, Philadelphia.

The book Is in cloth,-and the price 75- not more than half rates. CauBe competition fight between two publishers. The editor of the New York Herald announced that "oats contain an appreciable quantity of phosphorus," and he recommends oats as a brain stimulant. The editor of the Herald seems to have been directing his attention to the intellectual department of that finely limbed journal ; finding it rather below the usual horse average, he has concluded that 'oats did it." ,-. - . . . v 1 . . . f There are two communications in yesterday's Commercial, based upon a comment by the Commercial on an article from the State Journal. ' The commu nications uphold the right of the laboring man to take employment wherever he can get it, and at such prices as may suit him a dootrine we have announced from the beginning. It would have been a little more satisfactory if the correspondents bad not left our position on that subject in doubt, with a leaning to the supposi tion that it waB the reverse of that held The tyranny of the Miners' Union is worse than that of any despotic govern ment on earth. There is not An old world tyrant, in even an Oriental despotism, who would dare aay that men must work only at such price as he ordained, of such kind of pay as he ordered, for such time as he permitted, for such men as pleased him, and that every worker should drop his toola and slop work at his order. The Khedive of Egypt himself would be strangled with his own bowstring if he were to attempt anch tyranny.

It ia a dainty little Volume, containing tone exquisitely simple, and graceful versions of "Northern Ballads," by Ed- ward L. Anderson. We have not fallen npoa anything so charming for a long time. For aale as above. "Thomas Purr's Reply" ia extremely discursive, and H occupies a great deal of pace unnecessarily, but we prefer to have him answer in his own way.' His answer amounts to a general denial. Some readers may wonder why we give so much importance to Mr. Pirt. As to that we may say that he is one of the men who is always at the fore in such business as these controversies between miners and operators one of the persons who occupy the elegant leisure of the strike with "important" and well paid committee business, requiring frequent journeys by first class conveyances, and refreshment at first class hotels, so long as the funds hold out, you will observe, this is rather a soft thing for the Pirts. In fact, we are not prepared to assert that it is not a pieman ter mode of spending the time than " Down in the coal mine." We would not hint that any such consideration would tend to delay matters, and make able committeemen peculiarly strenuous for the ' rights" of the miners; but If any Logical Mind should find itself run into such a train of thought by the facts in .' the case, we should be somewhat at a loss in endeavor ing to show that the Logical Mind was on the wrong track. It is difficult for men of even an illogical mind to resist the conclusion that a more eligible basis for nego tiation wouid be the individual miners, even if the individual miners themselves are supported in idleness by contributions from other quarters. . Of course these contributions will lie returned at the proper time, when it comes the turn of the contributors to have their little unpleasantness with the employers. The net result .. . ., is, that the employe must ue lorcen to pay such wages a will enable the two communities to stand the pressure of sup porting each other during the idle times. With all this advantage, however, the miners lose incalculably by the strike, in every instance. The loss of one day's lubor will generally cost the Miner as much as the entire difference in dispute between him and the employer' would amount to for a whole monlk It is very rarely that the dispute covers as much as the value of two cents an hour for an ordinary day's work. If it amounts to one twentyfourth of the average day's work, it win lane me miner one month to lose as much by working on, as he would Iobo by knock ing off for only one day. . But the money loss is the smallest part of the loss, as we have frequently aaid be fore. The habit of idleness, and all the drinking, brawling, loafing, and every mischief the devil finds for idle hands these are the real losses by strikes. In view of which we are forced to the con clusion that there is hardly a conceivable state of circumstances where a strike is not a pitiful failure a remedy infinitely worse than the disease. Kansas City rejoices in the discov ery ot a new grain ouuei ior me Central West by way of Galveston, Texas. Arrangements have been made for through freights to the Gulf, and the first consignments direct to Liverpool are already on their way thither. Everything indicates that the new route will prove entirely practicable, and quite enough has been accomplished already to show the folly of endeavoring to export the produce of every part of the country by way of the Atlantic seaboard. The Gulf route, when fully opened, will also, as this paper suggested a year ago, effect ually solve the transportation problem so far as a large portion of the grain pro ducing West is concerned. With a splendid ocean harbor six hundred-miles nearer than that of New York, the people of Kansas and .Western Missouri begin to realize that they are not, after all, entirely dependent upon the great railway combinations for reaching a market, either domestic or. foreign.

This awful suggestion gathers force from the fact that the skins of many people have already been tanned, When a man gets into the habit of walking with his hands tucked under his coat tails as men who accumulate brain very fast often do he ought to leave his cane at home, if only to avoid Darwinian analogies.

Some of her remarks were hissed, and occasionally a reporter present was seen to blush. Pre vious to the lecture, Miss Zula Woodhull, thirteen years old. a daughter of the lec ture, recited James Russell Lowell's poem, "The Present Crisis." A New York editor, who professes to know whereof he speaks, says "no French or English woman of cultivation now-a-days wears her garters below her knees, Ibe principal vein ot the leg sinks there beneath the muscle, and varicose veins, cold feet and even palpitation of the heart may be brought on by a tight garter in the wrong place. When it is fastened above the knee all this pain and delormity may ne avowed. The American Institute of Homeopathy will spend its next session at Put- ! T) T. - T ' The Pacific Telegraph Cable. The San Francisco Chronlole of a recent date says: "The magnificent project of an ocean telegraph cable to connect San Francisco with China and Japan is beginning to take tangible shape. Cyrus W. Field, who has now taken it in hand, is probably the best man in the world to stand at the head of such an enterprise, Hi? company in not yet formed, nor have the preliminary deep-sea soundings been completed by the scientific corps on board the United States vessel Tuscarora, detailed for this set vice. . This much may, however, be said, that the work ia fully determined upon; that, so far as may be decided at present, the southern route, by way of Honolulu and Ocean Island, will be preferred, and that when finished it ia expected this line will afford communication between London and Shanghai in thirty minutes..., The distance to Yokohama by the route sow preferred will be 0700 nautical miles, and at some points on the line the cable will have to be laid at the enormous depth of three miles. Another route which .haa been examined thoroughly by the Tuscarora, by way of Atcha, one of the Aleu-tien group of islands, is one thousand miles shorter, but is dangerous, both for the laying and the maintenance- of ocean cables, on account of the frequent and violent storms raging in that part of .the racihc. Extensions to Australia and Shanghai are already talked of, but nothing will be attempted toward them until the main line js put down." . J he same paiier also contains an inter view witli Mr. Field, in which he sayB that by this cable the projectors expect to get all the telegraphic business of New lork and verv likely all ot London. Twelve hours of actual time are often consumed between Shanghai and London, owing to delays by accumulated business at Ceylon, Bombay, Suca, Malta and Lisbon. Mr. Field thinks, however, that by the new line the time from Shanghai to London need not be more than hall' an hour of actual time. He also stated that the capital now invested in the Atlantic cable ($35,000,000 in gold), pays eight percent. He estimates that the advantages which San Francisco is likely to derive from the laying of the Pacific cables will be found in a great increase of the di rect trade with, Asia, and in, the good chance which San Francisco will stand of getting the trade of Australia. - Wool Watlierlnga. Wool sales ojiened in Zanesville ut -111 cents. Growers in most Ohio counties are very busy shearing. ' " In Madison county the average prices so far are 4243 cents. As a general thing the clip is not com ing into market very rapidly. The prevailing prices all through Northern Ohio are 4045 cents. Eastern buyers think there will not be much fluctuation in prioee this season. For many years, savs the Toledo Blade, the market haa not been so bare of fleeces as at present. . The wool clip of Richland county for this year, if sold at 40 cents per pound, will bring into the county $iuu,uuu. The general dullness in manufactures has a tendency to depress the market, but many holders are hopeful of an improved condition of affairs. The Xenia Gazette of June 2 says: Wool buyers in this region are paying 40 to 43 cents per pound for the new clip. As high us 40 cents was paid last week." The California clip is large, and is bringing good prices, and no interest seems to be in a more prosperous condition on the Pacific coast than that of wool grow, ing. hich Arm T A writer in Scribner'a Bays: "The question whether a gentleman walking with a lady should give her his right arm is frequently discussed. CuBtom and writ ten etiquette are rather in lavor ot the right, although then are excellent reasons in favor ot the lett arm. bilher one or the other, permanently retained, is vastly better than the awkward and absurd habit of changing arms, bo as to place the ladies on the inside of the promenade. One ad vantage ot giving the lelt arm is that the person on the right naturally takes the lead, so that in the country or city, in the street or park, he thusdirecta the way, in stead of waiting to consult with bis com panion, or causing a jostling by each of them trying to move in opposite points. Another advantage is that in a - crowded thoroughfare, such as Broadway, for ex ample, where the sidewalk is invariably encumbered with merchandiseand throng ed with people, a gentleman needs his right arm to remove obstructions and keep rude or careless folks out of the way.

I lie poor fellow is a student at Oxford, where he is said to be very much liked, h or some weeks be has been dangerously ill, so ill that at times he was believed to be in danger.

Common Henae from Beerher. Home one asks Henry Ward Beecher "What can wc do for a friend for whom we have prayed a lonz time, and all that we can say or do only makes him more determined to have his own way?" To this comprehensive and ingenious inquiry Mr. Beecher answers : "Nobody likee to live in an atmosphere of incessant re- proor. It you want to win his neart and nelt his oonosition. do not darken hie life by making him feel. even by your looks or air, that you are groaning over him as a miserable sinnen Make life cheerful to him: make your own love for him a source of jov: let your piety be full of sweetneaa and light; show the utmost a preciation of his good ejaalitiee, and - patient.'

The colored miners arrived at the, Longstreth mines, in NelnonviUe, during last night, and the strikers were astonished this morning to find that they had actually arrived and were bivouaced at the above, mine. Oreat excitement prevailed all day. In the fore part of the day many of the merchants closed their places of business to hold an indignation meeting. Burner says the New Straitsville miners have been sent for, and will be down to-mor row in, full force i . As yet there has been but one man silly enough to commit an overt act. Three colored miners were left in Columbus last night, and came down to-day in charge of James Spencer, on the noon passenger train. On arriving it was thought best not to get off the train at the station, as the appearance of some five or six hundred Union men was' not a very agreeable sight; so tbey remained on until the train got down to Longstreth's crossing, where they got off. A young man by the name of Kinkead (who is a miner) was standing on the platform, drew his revolver and fired at them. Sheriff Warren being on the train, walked out and arrested him, and took him to Athens and locked him up. It is impossible to tell what will be done, though it is feared some of the more rash and inconsistent will cause bloodshed. LSecond Dispatch.) . , i . Speoial to the Ohio Stale Journal. Nelsosville, June 11. About three hundred and fifty colored men, most of them from Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, arrived here about four o'clock this morning, having collected in Co lumbus by different routes last night. They were accompanied by twentyone special' policemen from Columbus. They passed the Neleonville depot, and proceeded directly to Longstreth's mines, half a mile below, but still within the village corporation, where they found everything quiet. They were immediately placed on military duty. Arms were placed in their hands and pick et lines encircling territory half a niile in diameter, surrpunding tbe entrance to Longstreth'a mines, were,, established. During the day the American flag floated from Longstreth's works, where the new men are collected. The camp lines have been marked down and colored men have been patroling the outskirts all day with muskets and fixed bayonets, refusing admittance within the lines to all not in dorsed by the operator or police. About twentyseven are on picket duty around the hills in the rear of the forks, and a reserve picket force is to be added to night. ' Three of the colored men missed the special train last night, but came down on the passenger train to-day, accompanied by James B. Spencer, who is at the head of the Columbus police force. When the train stopped at the depot several Union miners got aboard to talk to the negroes. The train waa stopped again below town, and when Spencer and the negroes got off a shot was fired at them from a car step by some unknown person. This is the only violent demonstration as yet.. During the whole day an average of about one hundred men, women and children lb sympathy with the strikers have been collected just outside the lines at the Longstreth works, but they are not allowed to cross into camp. Any one presenting himself for admission is promptly met by a bayonet. In town everything haa been quiet to-day, and there have been no menaces at the works except oc casional derisive remarks directed at the new importations. The negroes are a rugged set of men, and many of them have seen military service. A few of them are fresh from the Brooks-Baxter war in Arkansas. They express great determina tion, and those not on guard duty have been industriously drilling all day. Among the operators within the lines are T. Loneatreth, W., B. Brooks, W. B. McClung, Miner T. Ames, and a repre sentative of the New York and Ohio Coal company. They express the greatest con fidence that the negroes will stand by them either for defense or work, and the behavior of the colored troops teems to justify this confidence. The fcrce fairly bristles with bayonets, ' They have 250 muskets with bayonets, United States belts, and cartridge boxes complete; also, 100 navy revolvers, besides many smaller firearms. At the mass meeting of Union miners yesterday, the demand of L. D. Poston for an increase of one hundred inches to the bushel waa considered. The miners refused, but agreed to recede from their basis of (-1 per hundred to $2.87, which Poston accepted. Daring the strike Poston has not opposed the minera' demands, but he work but few hands, and ia not ia the general conferences of the operators. The miners aay they are willing to treat with tbe other operators the same aa with Poston, and that they have been so all through the strike, but the operators this afternoon emphasize their declaration that they wilj have nothing to do with Union miners at any price. J Sixty Strikers have just arrived in procession from Carbondale, and 400 are expected from Straitsville to-night. ( . i..,. .., , , i Third Piapateh. , -... , MR. I'UTKAM'S ADDItKSS TO THEHTB1KEE8. Special to the Ohio State Journal. ' : : t . NeMonville, June 11. Governor Allen having been informed that the striking miners were about to assemble in Neleonville from other points to menace the new men, Private Secretary Putnam arrived here this afternoon clothed with full authority to act. He addressed a meeting of six hundred striking miners this afternoon, laying down the law to them, counseling them to des'iBt from encroaching on private territory, and assuring them that decisive means would be taken to suppress disorder. The miners were very distinct and decided in disclaiming any intention of violence, and unanimously exprcbed themselves In this manner, when a vote was taken. , They aluo declared they would endeavor to control miners from other places. Mr. Putnam also informed the strikers that the Sill Guards, oT, Cbillicothe, and Lytle Greys, of Cincinnati, had been notified to hold themselves-in readiness to more at a moment's notice. Mr. Putnam visited Fort Longstreth this evening, and was introduced within the linen. AS EPISODE. ! About seven ' o'clock this evening Thomas Pirt, President of the Nelson-ville Union, came down the line near the Longstreth works, accompanied by twenty or thirty other persons, and addressed as many of the colored men as were within hearing, urging them to lay down their arms and join the- ranks of the Union. The episode created some commotion, and one colored boy deserted.' At the same time there1 was a sort of demonstration at another point in the line, women taking a part, but it, was not serious. At eight o'clock not more than two dozen of those sympathizing with the slrikets wer visible front" the Longstreth works, but about one hundred were collected half way-between there and the village. ' THE SHERIFF OP ATHENS COUNTY is in the lines, and the police force are deputized by him, but he "declines to call on the Executive until there is actual violence. The operators are not in accord with him, saying there is danger of bloodshed before troops can arrive. Fourth Dispatch! Special to the Ohio State Journal. Nelsohville, O., June 12. The picket guard is doubled to-night, white men occupying one ridge and colored men another. Barney Hitter is Spencer's Lieu-, tenant in arranging the details. No one passes either way withouf the countersign, and the general discipline is quite rigorous. John Van Horn, one of the while police, did not halt very promptly when commanded, and was shot at by a colored picket who did not know him. Van Horn was not injured. The .main body of. 'the men are sleeping qn their arms on the ground, and about the works to-night. New houses are in process of construction for them. Half a dozen women, who are with the Virginia party, occupy an old house in rear, of the mine. Mr. Putnam returned to the village this evening and sent the 'following dispatch : . . - "To the commander pf the military i-oinpanji at Athens. "t ' .

The cause waa. investigated and a colored picket -report ed that he had fired on two outsiders who refused to hall; that they returned the fire, and six Bhots' were exchanged without wounding anybody, the outsiders finally running away. Several other Btray shots have been fired on the picket line. It was industriously reported to-day that five hundred colored men would be taken to Straitsville to-night, and it is presumed the ruse has kept the Straits ville men away from the actual seat of war. It is proposed to put some of the colored meu at work to-morrow, and to decorate the first bar of coal to Columbus with the American flag. reporters brought to a stand. Five men who were passed out of the colored lines at 11 o'clock to-night were halted at the picket line of the Union miners before they had proceeded a hundred yards, tbe clicking of revolvers accompanying the command. One man waa required to advance, and when he explained that the party was composed of newspaper reporters bound for the telegraph office, they were permitted to pass without further question, and were directed aa to the best route. The picket lines are exceedingly close together, and the discipline is strict. . BEADY TO MARCH. . . To the Aiiciatd Preas.

XXIII Congress First Session. , Washington, June 11. . SKSJATK. Mr. Scott presented a remonstrance of merchants of Philadelphia, against pas sage of the 29th section of the pending tarin bill. . Mr. Sherman, from the committee on Finance, reported verbally on House bill to admit free of duty articles intended for the International Exhibition. The bill was passed. Mr.Scott presented a memorial of work-initmen of Pennsylvania, asking for re storation of ten per cent, duty on iron and steel, and for free banking. Keferred. , . Mr. Morton moved that the peuding and all prior orders be laid aside, and that the Senate proceed!, to consideration of the' report of the committee of conference on the Currency bill. Agreed to, and the report was read at length. , Mr. Morton explained the repori as taking away the monopoly feature from MIQ l,l,UUUa, Manning njovcul, .uanM'g banking ffee.etc. The theory of the bill, said Mr. Morton, is that the 5 per cents will, by July 1, 178, be at par in coin,-and that United, States notes being con vertible into them will .also be at par; that meantime the Unjl'ed States notes will gradually appreciate from their pres- sent discount to par, and that the appreciation will be crenlle and slow, 'not ex ceeding 31 per cent, per annum, so that specie payments may be brought about without oppression to the debtor class' or derangement' to the business of the coun try. Should the yieory ot the. Dill not be realized, Congress will be in session when the time ot conversion of notes to bonds arrives, and can by legislation protect the country or banks from any con traction, -derangement, or evil resulting from this enactment.' This bill has been prepared in a spirit of 'compromise, having in view such an expansion of the currency as may be qecessary to meet the demands of the country, and at the same time bring' Jhe currency by a gradual process toa par value. Mr. Sherman thought im oiu a lair compromise. Both Mouses ot congress desired gradual approach .to a specie standard, and this bill would secure that end. Ma, Boutwell said he desired to-ask the Senators from Ohio and Connecticut what knowledge they had of the condition of affairs which would exist in 1878 which would justify this step to Bpecie payment, a step which they did uotidare take now? The senate, was asked to do a thing three years hence which it did not dare do now, and no one could know what the condition of affairs would be then. Mr! Sherman said the Senator from Massachusetts disclosed his opinion that the country could not return to specie payment in 1878. He (Sherman) believed the United States had the power and-ability to redeem its notes in two years from his time. Mr. Jones of .Nevada opposed aud Messrs. Harvev and Logan favored the bill. Mr. Carpenter, from the committee on the Judiciary, rewirted a bill, to deter mine the jurisdiction of Circuit Courts of the United States, and to regulate removal of causes from State Courts, and for other purposes, which was ordered printed and recommitted to the committee. a Pending discitssion on the conference report on the Currency bjll, tbe Senate Went into Executive session and soon al ter adjourned.

Senate bill supplementary to the third section of the act to divide Virginia into two judicial districts, was taken from the Speaker's table and passed. Alter a personal explanation between Messrs. Donnan and Storms, in reference to some remarks of the latter on the action of tbe committee on Printing, the House proceeded to the business on the Speaker a table, and disposed thereof by unanimous consent. Mr. Eldredge moved to suspend the rules and make it in order to insert in the Civil Appropriation bill an item of $76,- 000 for the Washington Monument.

Mr. Maynard remarked that the com mittee on tbe Washington Monument had intended to have asked a small appropriation for the monument to the mother of Washington at Fredericksburg, but in view of the vote just taken the committee would not now submit the proposition. The House then went into committee of the Whole, Mr. Dawes in the chair, on the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill. It appropriates $23,627,713. The first para graph in tbe bill was an appropriation of l,o,o07 lor public printing and paper, including the cost of printing the debates, with a provision that the wages of Government printers and binders shall not be above the average price of similar work in New lork, Philadelphia and Balu more. Mr. Hawley of Connecticut moved to strike out the last provision on the ground chiefly or higher cost of living in vt ash-ington than in those other cities. Mr, Garfield opposed the motion. After a discussion extending over an honr and a half, the provision in regard to wages of printers and binders war stricken onU On notion of Mr. Woodford, after a brief discnemon, the item to pay the wid ow of the late Mr. Mellish his salary till the date of his euccesaor's election, waa amended by allowing salary till tbe end of this Congress. Mr. Garfield offered an item appropriating $7000 to General Howard for defending his official conduct as Commissioner of the Freedman's Affairs, and spoke in advocacy of it. , . , Mr. Speer raised a point of order, and suggested that there had been no such proposition to pay the expenses of Presi-dent,Johoson in defending his official conduct.Mr. Garfield remarked that President Johnson's acquittal had not been unanimous as General Howard's had been. The question was passed over informally in order to allow Mr. Garfield to find the law under which the item would be in order. Mr. Kellogg offered an item appropriating $25,000 to enable the President to carry out the civil service rules. Mr. Southard referred to CurtiB as having been compelled to resign his position as head of the Civil Service Commission, because of violation of all rules of tbe Commission, and that, too, even by the President himself. Mr. Butler of Massachusetts denied that civil service reform was undertaken by recommendation of the President. Such a thing never entered into the President's wildest imagination. It was the scheme of a cabal in the Senate, composed of Trumbull, Schurz and others, for the purpose of breaking down General Grant in the Presidential election of 1872. It was presented in Congress, which was bothered at that time with the same sort of demagogues that are often seen at other times, and they did not dare to vote against it they were afraid to go home and say they voted against civil service reform, which had found its origin in China and its best exemplification in Great Britain, It was a mere trick.of a politician who had apostatized from their party, knowing that he was dead on account of his vote on the impeachment of Andrew JohnBon, and who wished to get once more into public life, but II did not galvanize him.. Mr. Cox remarked, in regard to the civil service reform, that When one came to read the practical reform it Was not there. It reminded him of a French comedy iq which there was a character who never appeared on the stage, while every other character who came before -the curtain inquired for her. This civil service reform .was a humbug of tlie Administration, and he was glad the gentleman from Massachusetts, wuh his trenchant spear, had pricked the bubble. fh itrue civil service reform was honesty and capacity; The committee rose, and Mr. Butler of Massachusetts movetl to. suspend the'ruls so as Jo make an amendment in order to cover into the Treasury any money now unexpended whicliiad been appropriated for civil service reform, so-called. Pending action on tbe motion the House ad journed. t ' SALT LAKE. question or Jurisdiction A Soldier Taken from ' Jail by Military Force, '"''" ' Salt Lake, Jurie'll. The police arrested a soldier last evening from Camp Douglas for disorderly conduct. This morning General Morrow demanded the surrender of the soldier, to be tried by the military authorities. The surrender was refused, and General Morrow ordered Cap- lain Gordon, with a detachment of cav alry, to tbe city, with orders to ask for the surrender of the prisoner, and in case of refusal to release him by force. The surrender was refused, and the Captain iroceeded to break open the jail and re-eased the man,,who.is now in 'confinement at the military post. , Gen. Morrow, some -time since, presented the subject of arrests by the civil authorities of soldiers, to the War Depart ment, claiming that under the articles of war a soldier should be tried by military, and not by civil, authorities. The Judge AdvocateGeneral of the Army approved of this view, and the Secretary of War directed Gen". Morrow to act accordingly. No resistance was made by the city au thorities, " .Second Dispatch ' ' Salt Lake. June 11. In the 'case of the soldier arrested for assault on a citi zen last evening1, it is claimed that both citizen and soldier were intoxicated at the time, and that the arrest was made by a private citizen. The instructions from Washington in regard tt arrest and deten tion or soldiers by the Mormon authorities were printed in the papers here two daj s ago, and it is supposed a test case is intended to be made of the occurrence to day, and that the surrender of the soldier was refuged for that reason. I be soldiers were loudly cheered by the assemblage of citizens witnessing the release. FOREIGN. ENGLAND. LIBERAL ELECTED. , , London, June 11.

The Galaxy.) ... ... Gustavua Adolphus and Charles All are the two types of Swedish character! Every Swede has either a Lulzen or a Bender. But even as an adventurer the Swede always knows how to keep up appearances. ' He may sink below morality, but be never sinkB below, decency. His shrewdness may have vulgar purposes, but his tricka do not show it. , He never abandons himself. Without dignity, or at least the show of dignity, he cannot live. There is in the Swedish character a lofty aspiration connected with a talent for brilliant display; a longing for tbe sublime in its exalted or in its fearful form; an audacious, adventurous spirit; and he who knows their language, their literature, and their history, will always imagine the Swedes marching into the world in glowing uniforms of yellow and blue, with glittering bayonets and thrilling chants. Tbey are a nation of soldiers. They are the soldiers of the North. While the Swede seems born to own a million and spend two, the Norwegian is born to earn two cents and save one. The steady, the prudent, the responsible Norwegians ! Although Norway is not the land in the world best fitted for agriculture, and although it has other resources, as for instance fish, iron, and timber, which contribute largely to the maintenance oi its inhabitants, yet agriculture is the main business of the Norwegian people, and few nations, if any, have the agricultural stamp so distinctly and so nobly impressed upon their character. The Norwegian is a prudent man. He can calculate and wait for the opportu nity, tie can work and aoiue me result. The statistics of births and deaths in Norway give a striking evidence of the prudence of the people, when compared, for instance, with those from Hungary. A traveler in Norway cannot help noticing that he meets so many old folks and so few children, while in Hungary he would not be at all astonished if told (hat every man waa doomed there to die when he reached his thirtieth year, generally leaving thirty children behind him. But in Norway every child, few though they are, grows up to manhood and womanhood; while in Hungary, which swarms with children, moat of them are dying when they begin to live. The Norwegian farmer asks his farm whether it can support a family or not, and he waits tor seven years in pious abstinence till his position allows him to marry. In no country 1 know of is so little done for the convenience and enjoyment of the present generation, and so much for the comfort and development of generations to come. New Advertisement. MASOMC.

The editor of the New York Herald announced that "oats contain an appreciable quantity of phosphorus," and he recommends oats as a brain stimulant.

It ia a dainty little Volume, containing tone exquisitely simple, and graceful versions of "Northern Ballads," by Ed- ward L. Anderson. We have not fallen npoa anything so charming for a long time. For aale as above. "Thomas Purr's Reply" ia extremely discursive, and H occupies a great deal of pace unnecessarily, but we prefer to have him answer in his own way.' His answer amounts to a general denial. Some readers may wonder why we give so much importance to Mr. Pirt. As to that we may say that he is one of the men who is always at the fore in such business as these controversies between miners and operators one of the persons who occupy the elegant leisure of the strike with "important" and well paid committee business, requiring frequent journeys by first class conveyances, and refreshment at first class hotels, so long as the funds hold out, you will observe, this is rather a soft thing for the Pirts. In fact, we are not prepared to assert that it is not a pieman ter mode of spending the time than " Down in the coal mine." We would not hint that any such consideration would tend to delay matters, and make able committeemen peculiarly strenuous for the ' rights" of the miners; but If any Logical Mind should find itself run into such a train of thought by the facts in .' the case, we should be somewhat at a loss in endeavor ing to show that the Logical Mind was on the wrong track. It is difficult for men of even an illogical mind to resist the conclusion that a more eligible basis for nego tiation wouid be the individual miners, even if the individual miners themselves are supported in idleness by contributions from other quarters. . Of course these contributions will lie returned at the proper time, when it comes the turn of the contributors to have their little unpleasantness with the employers. The net result .. . ., is, that the employe must ue lorcen to pay such wages a will enable the two communities to stand the pressure of sup porting each other during the idle times. With all this advantage, however, the miners lose incalculably by the strike, in every instance. The loss of one day's lubor will generally cost the Miner as much as the entire difference in dispute between him and the employer' would amount to for a whole monlk It is very rarely that the dispute covers as much as the value of two cents an hour for an ordinary day's work. If it amounts to one twentyfourth of the average day's work, it win lane me miner one month to lose as much by working on, as he would Iobo by knock ing off for only one day. . But the money loss is the smallest part of the loss, as we have frequently aaid be fore. The habit of idleness, and all the drinking, brawling, loafing, and every mischief the devil finds for idle hands these are the real losses by strikes. In view of which we are forced to the con clusion that there is hardly a conceivable state of circumstances where a strike is not a pitiful failure a remedy infinitely worse than the disease. Kansas City rejoices in the discov ery ot a new grain ouuei ior me Central West by way of Galveston, Texas. Arrangements have been made for through freights to the Gulf, and the first consignments direct to Liverpool are already on their way thither. Everything indicates that the new route will prove entirely practicable, and quite enough has been accomplished already to show the folly of endeavoring to export the produce of every part of the country by way of the Atlantic seaboard. The Gulf route, when fully opened, will also, as this paper suggested a year ago, effect ually solve the transportation problem so far as a large portion of the grain pro ducing West is concerned. With a splendid ocean harbor six hundred-miles nearer than that of New York, the people of Kansas and .Western Missouri begin to realize that they are not, after all, entirely dependent upon the great railway combinations for reaching a market, either domestic or. foreign.

The San Francisco Chronlole of a recent date says: "The magnificent project of an ocean telegraph cable to connect San Francisco with China and Japan is beginning to take tangible shape. Cyrus W. Field, who has now taken it in hand, is probably the best man in the world to stand at the head of such an enterprise, Hi? company in not yet formed, nor have the preliminary deep-sea soundings been completed by the scientific corps on board the United States vessel Tuscarora, detailed for this set vice. . This much may, however, be said, that the work ia fully determined upon; that, so far as may be decided at present, the southern route, by way of Honolulu and Ocean Island, will be preferred, and that when finished it ia expected this line will afford communication between London and Shanghai in thirty minutes..., The distance to Yokohama by the route sow preferred will be 0700 nautical miles, and at some points on the line the cable will have to be laid at the enormous depth of three miles. Another route which .haa been examined thoroughly by the Tuscarora, by way of Atcha, one of the Aleu-tien group of islands, is one thousand miles shorter, but is dangerous, both for the laying and the maintenance- of ocean cables, on account of the frequent and violent storms raging in that part of .the racihc. Extensions to Australia and Shanghai are already talked of, but nothing will be attempted toward them until the main line js put down." . J he same paiier also contains an inter view witli Mr. Field, in which he sayB that by this cable the projectors expect to get all the telegraphic business of New lork and verv likely all ot London. Twelve hours of actual time are often consumed between Shanghai and London, owing to delays by accumulated business at Ceylon, Bombay, Suca, Malta and Lisbon. Mr. Field thinks, however, that by the new line the time from Shanghai to London need not be more than hall' an hour of actual time. He also stated that the capital now invested in the Atlantic cable ($35,000,000 in gold), pays eight percent. He estimates that the advantages which San Francisco is likely to derive from the laying of the Pacific cables will be found in a great increase of the di rect trade with, Asia, and in, the good chance which San Francisco will stand of getting the trade of Australia. - Wool Watlierlnga. Wool sales ojiened in Zanesville ut -111 cents. Growers in most Ohio counties are very busy shearing. ' " In Madison county the average prices so far are 4243 cents. As a general thing the clip is not com ing into market very rapidly. The prevailing prices all through Northern Ohio are 4045 cents. Eastern buyers think there will not be much fluctuation in prioee this season. For many years, savs the Toledo Blade, the market haa not been so bare of fleeces as at present. . The wool clip of Richland county for this year, if sold at 40 cents per pound, will bring into the county $iuu,uuu. The general dullness in manufactures has a tendency to depress the market, but many holders are hopeful of an improved condition of affairs. The Xenia Gazette of June 2 says: Wool buyers in this region are paying 40 to 43 cents per pound for the new clip. As high us 40 cents was paid last week." The California clip is large, and is bringing good prices, and no interest seems to be in a more prosperous condition on the Pacific coast than that of wool grow, ing. hich Arm T A writer in Scribner'a Bays: "The question whether a gentleman walking with a lady should give her his right arm is frequently discussed. CuBtom and writ ten etiquette are rather in lavor ot the right, although then are excellent reasons in favor ot the lett arm. bilher one or the other, permanently retained, is vastly better than the awkward and absurd habit of changing arms, bo as to place the ladies on the inside of the promenade. One ad vantage ot giving the lelt arm is that the person on the right naturally takes the lead, so that in the country or city, in the street or park, he thusdirecta the way, in stead of waiting to consult with bis com panion, or causing a jostling by each of them trying to move in opposite points. Another advantage is that in a - crowded thoroughfare, such as Broadway, for ex ample, where the sidewalk is invariably encumbered with merchandiseand throng ed with people, a gentleman needs his right arm to remove obstructions and keep rude or careless folks out of the way.

Burner says the New Straitsville miners have been sent for, and will be down to-mor row in, full force i . As yet there has been but one man silly enough to commit an overt act. Three colored miners were left in Columbus last night, and came down to-day in charge of James Spencer, on the noon passenger train. On arriving it was thought best not to get off the train at the station, as the appearance of some five or six hundred Union men was' not a very agreeable sight; so tbey remained on until the train got down to Longstreth's crossing, where they got off. A young man by the name of Kinkead (who is a miner) was standing on the platform, drew his revolver and fired at them. Sheriff Warren being on the train, walked out and arrested him, and took him to Athens and locked him up. It is impossible to tell what will be done, though it is feared some of the more rash and inconsistent will cause bloodshed. LSecond Dispatch.) . , i . Speoial to the Ohio Stale Journal. Nelsosville, June 11. About three hundred and fifty colored men, most of them from Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, arrived here about four o'clock this morning, having collected in Co lumbus by different routes last night. They were accompanied by twentyone special' policemen from Columbus. They passed the Neleonville depot, and proceeded directly to Longstreth's mines, half a mile below, but still within the village corporation, where they found everything quiet. They were immediately placed on military duty. Arms were placed in their hands and pick et lines encircling territory half a niile in diameter, surrpunding tbe entrance to Longstreth'a mines, were,, established. During the day the American flag floated from Longstreth's works, where the new men are collected. The camp lines have been marked down and colored men have been patroling the outskirts all day with muskets and fixed bayonets, refusing admittance within the lines to all not in dorsed by the operator or police. About twentyseven are on picket duty around the hills in the rear of the forks, and a reserve picket force is to be added to night. ' Three of the colored men missed the special train last night, but came down on the passenger train to-day, accompanied by James B. Spencer, who is at the head of the Columbus police force. When the train stopped at the depot several Union miners got aboard to talk to the negroes. The train waa stopped again below town, and when Spencer and the negroes got off a shot was fired at them from a car step by some unknown person. This is the only violent demonstration as yet.. During the whole day an average of about one hundred men, women and children lb sympathy with the strikers have been collected just outside the lines at the Longstreth works, but they are not allowed to cross into camp. Any one presenting himself for admission is promptly met by a bayonet. In town everything haa been quiet to-day, and there have been no menaces at the works except oc casional derisive remarks directed at the new importations. The negroes are a rugged set of men, and many of them have seen military service. A few of them are fresh from the Brooks-Baxter war in Arkansas. They express great determina tion, and those not on guard duty have been industriously drilling all day. Among the operators within the lines are T. Loneatreth, W., B. Brooks, W. B. McClung, Miner T. Ames, and a repre sentative of the New York and Ohio Coal company. They express the greatest con fidence that the negroes will stand by them either for defense or work, and the behavior of the colored troops teems to justify this confidence. The fcrce fairly bristles with bayonets, ' They have 250 muskets with bayonets, United States belts, and cartridge boxes complete; also, 100 navy revolvers, besides many smaller firearms. At the mass meeting of Union miners yesterday, the demand of L. D. Poston for an increase of one hundred inches to the bushel waa considered. The miners refused, but agreed to recede from their basis of (-1 per hundred to $2.87, which Poston accepted. Daring the strike Poston has not opposed the minera' demands, but he work but few hands, and ia not ia the general conferences of the operators. The miners aay they are willing to treat with tbe other operators the same aa with Poston, and that they have been so all through the strike, but the operators this afternoon emphasize their declaration that they wilj have nothing to do with Union miners at any price. J Sixty Strikers have just arrived in procession from Carbondale, and 400 are expected from Straitsville to-night. ( . i..,. .., , , i Third Piapateh. , -... , MR. I'UTKAM'S ADDItKSS TO THEHTB1KEE8. Special to the Ohio State Journal. ' : : t . NeMonville, June 11. Governor Allen having been informed that the striking miners were about to assemble in Neleonville from other points to menace the new men, Private Secretary Putnam arrived here this afternoon clothed with full authority to act. He addressed a meeting of six hundred striking miners this afternoon, laying down the law to them, counseling them to des'iBt from encroaching on private territory, and assuring them that decisive means would be taken to suppress disorder. The miners were very distinct and decided in disclaiming any intention of violence, and unanimously exprcbed themselves In this manner, when a vote was taken. , They aluo declared they would endeavor to control miners from other places. Mr. Putnam also informed the strikers that the Sill Guards, oT, Cbillicothe, and Lytle Greys, of Cincinnati, had been notified to hold themselves-in readiness to more at a moment's notice. Mr. Putnam visited Fort Longstreth this evening, and was introduced within the linen. AS EPISODE. ! About seven ' o'clock this evening Thomas Pirt, President of the Nelson-ville Union, came down the line near the Longstreth works, accompanied by twenty or thirty other persons, and addressed as many of the colored men as were within hearing, urging them to lay down their arms and join the- ranks of the Union. The episode created some commotion, and one colored boy deserted.' At the same time there1 was a sort of demonstration at another point in the line, women taking a part, but it, was not serious. At eight o'clock not more than two dozen of those sympathizing with the slrikets wer visible front" the Longstreth works, but about one hundred were collected half way-between there and the village. ' THE SHERIFF OP ATHENS COUNTY is in the lines, and the police force are deputized by him, but he "declines to call on the Executive until there is actual violence. The operators are not in accord with him, saying there is danger of bloodshed before troops can arrive. Fourth Dispatch! Special to the Ohio State Journal. Nelsohville, O., June 12. The picket guard is doubled to-night, white men occupying one ridge and colored men another. Barney Hitter is Spencer's Lieu-, tenant in arranging the details. No one passes either way withouf the countersign, and the general discipline is quite rigorous. John Van Horn, one of the while police, did not halt very promptly when commanded, and was shot at by a colored picket who did not know him. Van Horn was not injured. The .main body of. 'the men are sleeping qn their arms on the ground, and about the works to-night. New houses are in process of construction for them. Half a dozen women, who are with the Virginia party, occupy an old house in rear, of the mine. Mr. Putnam returned to the village this evening and sent the 'following dispatch : . . - "To the commander pf the military i-oinpanji at Athens. "t ' .

The cause waa. investigated and a colored picket -report ed that he had fired on two outsiders who refused to hall; that they returned the fire, and six Bhots' were exchanged without wounding anybody, the outsiders finally running away. Several other Btray shots have been fired on the picket line. It was industriously reported to-day that five hundred colored men would be taken to Straitsville to-night, and it is presumed the ruse has kept the Straits ville men away from the actual seat of war. It is proposed to put some of the colored meu at work to-morrow, and to decorate the first bar of coal to Columbus with the American flag. reporters brought to a stand. Five men who were passed out of the colored lines at 11 o'clock to-night were halted at the picket line of the Union miners before they had proceeded a hundred yards, tbe clicking of revolvers accompanying the command. One man waa required to advance, and when he explained that the party was composed of newspaper reporters bound for the telegraph office, they were permitted to pass without further question, and were directed aa to the best route. The picket lines are exceedingly close together, and the discipline is strict. . BEADY TO MARCH. . . To the Aiiciatd Preas.

A thrifty young colored man is out in a card in to-day's Banner, complaining of incivility upon the white half of the human family, because, coming into a saloon where tbe colored man with two colored ladies were indulging in an ice cream, the white people discovering them after their order for a like luxury had been filled, paid their bill and departed without indulcine in a taste. To this the colored person objects, and publishes that he teels insulted, etc. lo prevent a like occurrence iu future, the City Council will, at their next session, pass the Uivil Bights bill, together with a joint resolution requiring those white people lo go back and eat that ice cream. XXIII Congress First Session. , Washington, June 11. . SKSJATK. Mr. Scott presented a remonstrance of merchants of Philadelphia, against pas sage of the 29th section of the pending tarin bill. . Mr. Sherman, from the committee on Finance, reported verbally on House bill to admit free of duty articles intended for the International Exhibition. The bill was passed. Mr.Scott presented a memorial of work-initmen of Pennsylvania, asking for re storation of ten per cent, duty on iron and steel, and for free banking. Keferred. , . Mr. Morton moved that the peuding and all prior orders be laid aside, and that the Senate proceed!, to consideration of the' report of the committee of conference on the Currency bill. Agreed to, and the report was read at length. , Mr. Morton explained the repori as taking away the monopoly feature from MIQ l,l,UUUa, Manning njovcul, .uanM'g banking ffee.etc. The theory of the bill, said Mr. Morton, is that the 5 per cents will, by July 1, 178, be at par in coin,-and that United, States notes being con vertible into them will .also be at par; that meantime the Unjl'ed States notes will gradually appreciate from their pres- sent discount to par, and that the appreciation will be crenlle and slow, 'not ex ceeding 31 per cent, per annum, so that specie payments may be brought about without oppression to the debtor class' or derangement' to the business of the coun try. Should the yieory ot the. Dill not be realized, Congress will be in session when the time ot conversion of notes to bonds arrives, and can by legislation protect the country or banks from any con traction, -derangement, or evil resulting from this enactment.' This bill has been prepared in a spirit of 'compromise, having in view such an expansion of the currency as may be qecessary to meet the demands of the country, and at the same time bring' Jhe currency by a gradual process toa par value. Mr. Sherman thought im oiu a lair compromise. Both Mouses ot congress desired gradual approach .to a specie standard, and this bill would secure that end. Ma, Boutwell said he desired to-ask the Senators from Ohio and Connecticut what knowledge they had of the condition of affairs which would exist in 1878 which would justify this step to Bpecie payment, a step which they did uotidare take now? The senate, was asked to do a thing three years hence which it did not dare do now, and no one could know what the condition of affairs would be then. Mr! Sherman said the Senator from Massachusetts disclosed his opinion that the country could not return to specie payment in 1878. He (Sherman) believed the United States had the power and-ability to redeem its notes in two years from his time. Mr. Jones of .Nevada opposed aud Messrs. Harvev and Logan favored the bill. Mr. Carpenter, from the committee on the Judiciary, rewirted a bill, to deter mine the jurisdiction of Circuit Courts of the United States, and to regulate removal of causes from State Courts, and for other purposes, which was ordered printed and recommitted to the committee. a Pending discitssion on the conference report on the Currency bjll, tbe Senate Went into Executive session and soon al ter adjourned. HwfJsE. Mr. Durham introduced a bill authorizing the Board of Commissioners of the Soldiers' Home to sell property belonging to the Soldiers' . Home at Harrodsburg, Kt., known as the Harrodsburg Spring property, on stich terms as may be approved by the Secretary of War. Passed. On motion. Senate bill supplementary to the third section of the act to divide Virginia into two judicial districts, was taken from the Speaker's table and passed. Alter a personal explanation between Messrs. Donnan and Storms, in reference to some remarks of the latter on the action of tbe committee on Printing, the House proceeded to the business on the Speaker a table, and disposed thereof by unanimous consent. Mr. Eldredge moved to suspend the rules and make it in order to insert in the Civil Appropriation bill an item of $76,- 000 for the Washington Monument. Negatived yeaa 148, nays 84 not two- thirds voting in the affirmative. Mr. Maynard remarked that the com mittee on tbe Washington Monument had intended to have asked a small appropriation for the monument to the mother of Washington at Fredericksburg, but in view of the vote just taken the committee would not now submit the proposition. The House then went into committee of the Whole, Mr. Dawes in the chair, on the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill. It appropriates $23,627,713. The first para graph in tbe bill was an appropriation of l,o,o07 lor public printing and paper, including the cost of printing the debates, with a provision that the wages of Government printers and binders shall not be above the average price of similar work in New lork, Philadelphia and Balu more. Mr. Hawley of Connecticut moved to strike out the last provision on the ground chiefly or higher cost of living in vt ash-ington than in those other cities. Mr, Garfield opposed the motion. After a discussion extending over an honr and a half, the provision in regard to wages of printers and binders war stricken onU On notion of Mr. Woodford, after a brief discnemon, the item to pay the wid ow of the late Mr. Mellish his salary till the date of his euccesaor's election, waa amended by allowing salary till tbe end of this Congress. Mr. Garfield offered an item appropriating $7000 to General Howard for defending his official conduct as Commissioner of the Freedman's Affairs, and spoke in advocacy of it. , . , Mr. Speer raised a point of order, and suggested that there had been no such proposition to pay the expenses of Presi-dent,Johoson in defending his official conduct.Mr. Garfield remarked that President Johnson's acquittal had not been unanimous as General Howard's had been. The question was passed over informally in order to allow Mr. Garfield to find the law under which the item would be in order. Mr. Kellogg offered an item appropriating $25,000 to enable the President to carry out the civil service rules. Mr. Southard referred to CurtiB as having been compelled to resign his position as head of the Civil Service Commission, because of violation of all rules of tbe Commission, and that, too, even by the President himself. Mr. Butler of Massachusetts denied that civil service reform was undertaken by recommendation of the President. Such a thing never entered into the President's wildest imagination. It was the scheme of a cabal in the Senate, composed of Trumbull, Schurz and others, for the purpose of breaking down General Grant in the Presidential election of 1872. It was presented in Congress, which was bothered at that time with the same sort of demagogues that are often seen at other times, and they did not dare to vote against it they were afraid to go home and say they voted against civil service reform, which had found its origin in China and its best exemplification in Great Britain, It was a mere trick.of a politician who had apostatized from their party, knowing that he was dead on account of his vote on the impeachment of Andrew JohnBon, and who wished to get once more into public life, but II did not galvanize him.. Mr. Cox remarked, in regard to the civil service reform, that When one came to read the practical reform it Was not there. It reminded him of a French comedy iq which there was a character who never appeared on the stage, while every other character who came before -the curtain inquired for her. This civil service reform .was a humbug of tlie Administration, and he was glad the gentleman from Massachusetts, wuh his trenchant spear, had pricked the bubble. fh itrue civil service reform was honesty and capacity; The committee rose, and Mr. Butler of Massachusetts movetl to. suspend the'ruls so as Jo make an amendment in order to cover into the Treasury any money now unexpended whicliiad been appropriated for civil service reform, so-called. Pending action on tbe motion the House ad journed. t ' SALT LAKE. question or Jurisdiction A Soldier Taken from ' Jail by Military Force, '"''" ' Salt Lake, Jurie'll. The police arrested a soldier last evening from Camp Douglas for disorderly conduct. This morning General Morrow demanded the surrender of the soldier, to be tried by the military authorities. The surrender was refused, and General Morrow ordered Cap- lain Gordon, with a detachment of cav alry, to tbe city, with orders to ask for the surrender of the prisoner, and in case of refusal to release him by force. The surrender was refused, and the Captain iroceeded to break open the jail and re-eased the man,,who.is now in 'confinement at the military post. , Gen. Morrow, some -time since, presented the subject of arrests by the civil authorities of soldiers, to the War Depart ment, claiming that under the articles of war a soldier should be tried by military, and not by civil, authorities. The Judge AdvocateGeneral of the Army approved of this view, and the Secretary of War directed Gen". Morrow to act accordingly. No resistance was made by the city au thorities, " .Second Dispatch ' ' Salt Lake. June 11. In the 'case of the soldier arrested for assault on a citi zen last evening1, it is claimed that both citizen and soldier were intoxicated at the time, and that the arrest was made by a private citizen. The instructions from Washington in regard tt arrest and deten tion or soldiers by the Mormon authorities were printed in the papers here two daj s ago, and it is supposed a test case is intended to be made of the occurrence to day, and that the surrender of the soldier was refuged for that reason.

The Galaxy.) ... ... Gustavua Adolphus and Charles All are the two types of Swedish character! Every Swede has either a Lulzen or a Bender. But even as an adventurer the Swede always knows how to keep up appearances. ' He may sink below morality, but be never sinkB below, decency. His shrewdness may have vulgar purposes, but his tricka do not show it. , He never abandons himself. Without dignity, or at least the show of dignity, he cannot live. There is in the Swedish character a lofty aspiration connected with a talent for brilliant display; a longing for tbe sublime in its exalted or in its fearful form; an audacious, adventurous spirit; and he who knows their language, their literature, and their history, will always imagine the Swedes marching into the world in glowing uniforms of yellow and blue, with glittering bayonets and thrilling chants. Tbey are a nation of soldiers. They are the soldiers of the North. While the Swede seems born to own a million and spend two, the Norwegian is born to earn two cents and save one. The steady, the prudent, the responsible Norwegians ! Although Norway is not the land in the world best fitted for agriculture, and although it has other resources, as for instance fish, iron, and timber, which contribute largely to the maintenance oi its inhabitants, yet agriculture is the main business of the Norwegian people, and few nations, if any, have the agricultural stamp so distinctly and so nobly impressed upon their character. The Norwegian is a prudent man. He can calculate and wait for the opportu nity, tie can work and aoiue me result. The statistics of births and deaths in Norway give a striking evidence of the prudence of the people, when compared, for instance, with those from Hungary. A traveler in Norway cannot help noticing that he meets so many old folks and so few children, while in Hungary he would not be at all astonished if told (hat every man waa doomed there to die when he reached his thirtieth year, generally leaving thirty children behind him. But in Norway every child, few though they are, grows up to manhood and womanhood; while in Hungary, which swarms with children, moat of them are dying when they begin to live. The Norwegian farmer asks his farm whether it can support a family or not, and he waits tor seven years in pious abstinence till his position allows him to marry. In no country 1 know of is so little done for the convenience and enjoyment of the present generation, and so much for the comfort and development of generations to come. New Advertisement. MASOMC.
